As you enter this campground the left side is primarily for tents and is older than the right side. The sites on this side are mostly on crumbing asphalt and the lengths of the site pads are short. The interior road is also not in great shape. There are a number of pull-outs sites on this side. This section also has more trees. The right side has been upgraded (except for loop D). All sites are on a slab of concrete and are pretty level. The concrete is usually long enough to accommodate a large rig with a toe. The interior roads are in good shape. Loop D is closest to Lake Mead but has not been upgraded and looks pretty much like the left side of the park. All loops have a bathroom but no showers. Threaded water spigots are scattered throughout the park. A dump station with fresh water is located near the entrance to the campground. Picnic table and a fire ring (no firewood for sale) are on each site. WiFi and cable are not available. Verizon air card and phone reception was good. Generator hours are from 7 AM until 10 PM. Camp host is currently on Site 34. We would come back to this park. The price reflects the Senior Discount pass. We have a 32 foot 5th wheel. NOTE: ONLY CASH IS ACCEPTED - adsaxs

This park is very close to boon docking, But it is a nice park very clean and Right on the shore of Lake Mead. There are no electric, sewer or water hookups in the camp sites so we used solar. There is water at different locations through out the park. I am close enough to one I can actually fill up. There is a dump station at the front of the park that we visit about once a week. There are beautiful trees, bushes and ground cover between the campsites all through the park. I was at a full service park a short distance from here and it was a parking lot. The sun is hot with no shade. This place is very very nice. - Robert Roberts

The campground was extremely clean. Did not have showers, which was a disappointment. There were water spigots available very few sites, and each tent site was raked and clean. The lake was a short drive down the road. - BeeNbop

Cost was $256 per week. No daily rates exists. Lots are owned and you rent through management company. They charge extra 3% if pay by card. Lots are level. Usually no table but lots are large enough for table, chairs and barbecue. Pool, recreation hall, exercise room, and hot tub are available to all. This RV resort is very nice and owners and renters were very nice. - MHexcursions

This is a full timers or snowbird park. Sites are very nice and terraced for a view from most areas. The sites are privately owned and rented out when owners are not present. The park was very quiet 24/7 - in fact didn't see many residents at all during our 3 days. It is close to Hoover Dam and a good home base for visiting Las Vegas and being out of the crowds. To sum it up - there wasn't any thing wrong with the park - it just wasn't a great place for overnighters. We probably will look somewhere else next time in area. - pasco1215

We stay here every time we're in the Vegas area. Really like this park. Always stay in the lakefront sites which are very spacious and offer hookups on both sides, so you can face in or back in - your choice. Sites are always clean and groomed. 50 amp power is strong and stable. - tikivic

This is the full hookup campground on Lake Mead, or actually, very close. We didn't have a pricy lake view site, ours was already over priced. We had a patio, though. Too hot to sit outside until night fall. Both our AC's were kickin all the time. No dog area, limited grassy area for them. Staff was nice. Sites were kind of close together. Good cable, fairly good wifi. Good TV antenna reception. Lots of hot water, even from the cold faucet. - amxpress

I'm not sure whether or not some of the reviews for this park are for this actual park (they have 3 locations) as they descriptions are so different form our experience. We stayed at Lake Mead Boulder Beach. We stopped here for an overnight in April 2016. We considered the pretty and shady state park right next door to this spot (so close, we walked through it on way down to the beach), but the no generator rule and no electricity kept us away...it was hot enough that we wanted our A/C! Our concrete pad was level and had ample space (packed gravel) around us had there been other campers next door. There was a picnic table on the gravel area. I downloaded a photo for anyone wanting to see what the Lake View sites look like. We chose a head-in site, with FHU, right on the water and the sunset view was spectacular! Very peaceful. We walked around the park and noticed a good bit of full-timers. There is an area with permanent motorhomes with decks, but no residents during our stay. Don't let that scare you off as this is pretty typical in this part of the country...they were all well-maintained and "cute". The streets are wide and the park is easy to navigate. It's also very clean. There weren't any trees in our section and few in the park, so I imagine the sun gets pretty intense during the heat of the summer. Thankfully, that wasn't an issue when we were there (April). We walked down to the "beach" to check things out, but it was/is a longer walk than it looks, so it may be a bit too much for some folks. We were very impressed with this park and would definitely stay here again when out that way. We paid about $40 with Good Sam and were in a 25' Motorhome. - Mary_O

This was our 4th visit to this park. Each time we visit I am impressed with how well run this park is. All roads are paved. Sites are gravel and very level with plenty of space. It is easy to get around and all the sites are pull-through. There are trees but they are still small and don't give much relief from the sun. The restrooms are nice and clean and the laundry works well. There are two dog areas to choose from. We did not use the cable but the WiFi worked just fine. Though not a beautiful park - it is in the desert so there is not a lot that can be done about that - it is still one of my favorite RV Parks. - Myrt & Gordy

Since we live in Nevada, we've visited Lake Mead on numerous occasions. Even though Lake Mead is very, very dry, there's still a beautiful view of the lake...Take pictures! RV park, is about $180 a week. YIKES!

The RV parking spaces are kind of close together with hook-ups. If you want to have a get together or BBQ, there's a picnic area by the ranger station with ample shaded spots with grills!! Since the ranger station is within walking distance, on occasion, you may have a park ranger come by your area and chat with you. There's a small hiking trail as well in the area. WATCH FOR SIGNAGE! You also can take a walk/drive/ride your bike to the lake or take a swim. There are bathrooms down by the lake so you can change into your swimming attire. Be sure to shower after your swim!

$5 per night (using the Golden Age Passport) was for a level asphalt pad that was surrounded by a generous area of sand/gravel and beautiful desert vegetation including eucalyptus trees. Each primitive site has a concrete picnic table and fire ring. This campground is located on the outskirts of Las Vegas where there is every amenity. Our site had a 360? view of the surrounding valleys and mountains. Lake Mead National Recreation Area offers plenty of outdoor activities including hiking and biking trails, rock climbing, boating, fishing, hunting, and picnicking. There were lots of Gambel?s Quail, Ruby-throated hummingbirds, and coyotes in the area. AT&T and Verizon service were three ? four bars of LTE. There were over 40 OTA TV stations and we received many radio stations including HD stations. - DD Rolling Ranch

We camped here in September, 2014, after all the schools had opened. There were maybe 10 campers in the park. It was so hot! Over 100 degrees. We paid for two days but after the first night we left in search of A/C Now, this wasn't the park's problem. In cooler weather this park would be nice. Spaces, like in all NPS parks were close together. I suspect this place would be really crowded in the full season. Lake Mead was really low - Jim Lee

This park was very run down. The people were friendly enough. The majority of spaces are occupied by permanent residents. The surrounding area is more commercial and not conducive for walks and other outdoor activities. - LouDaisy5

The majority of RV’s in this park are long term. The people were friendly and very quiet as far as we could see. Park is 1.5 miles away from major shopping so it was very convenient. Good water pressure, electrical stayed up around 127 and no problems with the sewer. Park looks pretty nice from the entrance but it has seen better days once you drive around to look for a site. Cement pads were nice but had to park on part of the pad to get our main slide out. There is a security shack just past the office and there was usually someone there. No problems getting a satellite signal and Verizon Aircard worked well. We would stay here again to load up supplies from Costco and Trader Joe’s. NOT a place we would want to hang out in! - jannie5

This location is great for getting right off I-95 or I-515, but the name says it all. Desert Sands is sandy, and you can't get much more desert than that! So there is not much to upkeep. The trash cans seem to fill up faster than they are emptied. There are no shade trees. This seems to be more oriented for much older RVs, but they still have a heart. This is right next to Boulder Hwy. but is quiet at night. Can walk to Skyline casino. And Sam Boyd Stadium is very close for the events. Mall, casinos, groceries up Sunset Rd. the other direction. - steve&kristi

Reviews of Lake Mead Recreational Area - Willow Beach

Park needs a shuttle service for RV'ers who don't have a tow vehicle behind motorhome, to access Marina, water more easily. A very steep grade from Marina/Water to RV Campground. Rock trail is no easier! If you have no tow vehicle with your motorhome, you best be able to scale the hill. I'm surprised disabled RV'ers are not given more consideration! A shuttle/golf cart pick up each hour to and from Marina to Campsites would be easy to do and give someone a job too!

We were disappointed in how many RV'ers leave trash behind! Shame on them!! The Marina staff are wonderful, very helpful, thank you! - TerJim

This is a gorgeous campground with views of the Colorado and surrounding canyon. It was 114° when we pulled into our site in early July and only got down into the low 90°s at night, so expect the heat if visiting in the summer. The site was an immaculate pull-through with good water pressure (all water was hot- no need for a water heater!) and electric. No cell service, but free wifi available. The road into the campground is steep, rough, and curvy. Would not be fun at all in a rainstorm! - KyKampers

Great park to visit Hoover Damn and to kayak the Colorado River. The site was great and had plenty of space and was easy to get into. The sites are gravel and during our time there the heat was intense Great place to Kayak. - JR 108

We stayed at the park for one night. Check-in was relatively simple and the park is clean and easy to navigate. The sites are close together and only long enough for our trailer. Backing up and un-hitching was difficult because you have to push your trailer up over a curb into your site. Our tow rig was significantly lower than the trailer tongue and took awhile to get the ball to release. - wagsonthego97

The site we stayed in was a concret pull-thru built out of former two back to back sites. Long enough for our 40 ft MH with tow but not very wide. If we had used our awning this would have touched the rig of our neighbor. Hookups worked well, also WIFI. I didn't use the showers and pool area but both looked clean and in good condition. Reservation /check in procedure was awful. Tried several times to call ahead to ask if they have sites available. Never got a person on phone only the answer machine. Left a message. They once called back but I could take the call at that time. Requested via their contact option on website with arriving date and vehicle size. Got an email: call us. So, we drove up and I went into the office. They immediately started blaming me that they couldn't leave a message because I don't have voice mail.f Next they wanted to make a copy of our insurance card. We are traveling since 7 years now and this never happened to me till this day. Should mention we don't travel in a trash truck but in a 40 ft class A MH in good condition. I asked vor 2 nights and Passport America Discount. Told me, they only give 1 night even though their advertisement on Passport America website still shows 3 nights. So I wanted to go first 1 night with the discount and maybe extend. Next they told me I can have the discount but only for the second night. When I asked why the lady told me, they are very good booked and it's their decision to give the discount. My decision is this was our first and last visit to Duck Creek RV Park. - Ursula

We have stayed here in 2015 and 2016 in September for a week. A nice clean place with reasonable spacing. Wonderful staff. Say Hi from us! - srfox

A large, accessible and clean place to park your rv on the busy Boulder Hwy. that is a great location to see all of Las Vegas without the crowds at the downtown or strip parks. A variety of large fhu slots all over the park. Warning: if you like to sleep in this is not your park as Vegas never sleeps and mornings at this park very active. If not travelling with pets avoid last row in park as dog run attracts many, many users that like to bark at each other. If you have a dog, this is a great place to stay. Casino just a short walk from rv park. Everything easily accessible for handicapped visitors. - JAYFLIGHTRV

This is basically a parking lot but they have a pool, laundry room, several bathhouses, and grassy pet areas. Plus it's an easy walk to Sams Town casino which has several food options, a Beauty Salon, and a shuttle bus to the strip or Fremont street. Cable and wifi both work. All the staff were very nice. Some of them carry dog treats in their golf carts. Lol. If you stay 6 nights, the 7th is free. We found it very convenient for seeing Vegas. If the park was full, you'd be on top of your neighbors. The sites on either side of us were empty so we had plenty of room. - Patricia57

Park was easy to maneuver around. Office personnel were excellent. Sites are narrow and situated so that entry door faces entry door of neighbor. Cable is provided but very limited channels. - mhmama

Not many trees, a lot of open space in the heat. Site was clean and level, convenient to the casino and restaurant. Keeps you away from the nuts on the strip. Had to come up for a Vegas Wedding of a family member, stayed 3 days. Will be staying here again. Hookups worked well, WIFI ok and TV was sufficient. Who goes to Vegas for TV anyway ??? - Nevada Nick

We just left this park. Since this was our first trip to Vegas, we had to clue how HOT this area is in July. We had 113 F. as the high yesterday. However, this is how Vegas is; ALL the parks are hot . IT'S JULY ! There are not many trees, and we found out how hot that makes your coach when that sun beats down relentlessly. However, we requested to move to another site that actually had a couple of trees, and it did make a difference. Our two little pooches were not happy with the very limited grassy areas available, but we got by. I noticed that the official dog park and most of the other grassy areas were minefields of dog crap, not because the park was negligent about cleaning up but because TOO MANY DOG OWNERS ARE TOO LAZY OR TOO INCONSIDERATE to pick up after their pets. Shame on all of you. The cable TV was limited to about 20 channels, but all the major networks are available. Picture quality was not great, but sufficient. I found the free WI-FI to be quite good. We did not use the pool, but it looked nice. We had two breakfasts and one dinner in the Casino. Take a few minutes to get yourself the FREE B-Connected Card, as it will save you money on food. I would definitely go back to this KOA...but in cooler weather ! - dhaney1944

We have just spent 5 nights here. The amenities are good and clean however there is no free WiFi to speak of and the pay for use service they offer for $25.00 for a week is poor, with continual dropouts. The park itself is all sealed bitumen and gravel with a few trees that do nothing for shade thus with the reflected heat it is hot. The pool is kept clean and the heated hot tub is also clean but in the hot sun is no fun. The big issue with this park is the constant sirens from police and ambulances. We have had two nights of little sleep, one where there were numerous police cars with sirens and light going plus the helicopter overhead at low level obviously looking for someone and the other night two SWAT teams with police heavily armed. Not sure if we felt safe with their presence or not.

The park is about 20-30 minute drive to downtown Las Vegas.

Given that I have yet to find a better park for visiting Las Vegas I would just give it an above OK score. - TommBoyd
